In a population of deer in one year, six deer were born, five deer emigrated, three deer were killed by predators, and one deer immigrated. What can be determined from this information? Population growth is decreasing. Population growth is increasing. Population growth stays the same. Population reaches the carrying capacity.

Female luna moths (actias luna) attract males by emitting chemical signals that spread through the air. a male hundreds of meters away can detect these molecules and fly toward their source. the sensory organs responsible for this behavior are the comblike antennae visible in the photograph shown here. each filament of an antenna is equipped with thousands of receptor cells that detect the sex attractant. based on what you learned in this chapter, propose a hypothesis to account for the ability of the male moth to detect a specific molecule in the presence of many other molecules in the air. what predictions does your hypothesis make? design an experiment to test one of these predictions.
